Why would the oil leak out of the container soaking in hot water? The bottle is new and the lid was on tight. You are supposed to heat this up to liquify, right?

It may be that there was oil up to the rim and when you melted it down it seeped out. you don't necessarily have to heat it up, if left out in a regular room temp. it will loosen up enough to come out, and it will loosen further in the heat of your hand.

I think the lids don't always work well, especially when it comes to those cheaper items. Try keeping the bottle upright when it is in hot water, it generally melts pretty fast.

No it will not leak, I have filled it with boiling water and it was no problem. Remains hot for a long time. One word of advice in filling the bottle, do it very slowly so it doesn't get an air bubble and spit boiling water on your hand as you hold it. I filled it too quickly and got burned. Once filled make sure you close the stopper tight. Hope this helped and I love mine.

I think that technically it should not leak, as it is well sealed with a screw top. Here in the deep south however, the temps have been in the mid to high 90s. I can see how those types of temps can cause the contents to expand some and to be liquid enough to break through the seal. I received one not long ago, along with a very well sealed bottle of Pura d'or shampoo, and both were almost too hot to handle and both had leaked a little inside the box.

Hi C23, how did u finally resolve this issue, or did U?I see others suggested the foam inside was likely impeding the flow into the reservoir. I see 1 person took it out, added oil, then put it back in - a good idea as I think its needed to prevent oil from outflowing too fast... Hope u found a solution!

No you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

This was the first time I had bought neem oil so I'm not sure what the consistency should be, but mine is thick as well. I think that for whatever reason this is the consistency of neem oil. I'm sure you could put the bottle in hot water to liquefy it.

Mine wasn't sealed either and when I shake it, seems like the bottle is only half full. I'm concerned that I got a bottle that has been used and returned. :-(

The clear plastic insert attached to the bottle is supposed to fit inside the bottle lid. I have two bottles and when lid is screwed on there is no leakage on either one. I wonder if there is a defect with the clear plastic insert or the lid. You might check to see if the clear plastic is inserted rightly into the bottle. I have tested mine a few times after reading this, and mine are both sealed tight when lid is screwed on. You might contact seller. I am very pleased with my product.

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

This is the question that I asked Amazon, via the packaging feedback, when I received the leaking container. So many people have complained and yet nothing has been done to resolve the issue. It would seem unbelievable that the lid could unthread during shipment as this is a secure multithreaded lid.

Oil can go rancid. Smell the oil before you use it, if it smells good then its good to use, if not discard and buy a new bottle.

Hi Lynn,I'm not an oil expert but I'm going to venture an educated guess. Depending on the part of the country you live or the temperature the oil was stored at, I am guessing that the oil was probably colder than the point of congealing. This happens with all natural oils when they get below a certain temperature (i.e., putting olive oil in the fridge). Try letting the oil warm to room temperature or run it under some warm water and it will most likely un-congeal. Good luck.

is the lid on tightly??? see if it comes off, rinse dry and replace. see if that makes a difference.

I had a bit of oil on mine and I just burned it off. I think it is there to stop it from rusting while in storage. Hope you like it, I love mine.

I guess I don't understand about the oil. I just add a drop or two through the pressurization valve every time before connecting it to compressor hose. The seals on my unit are just great, so I cannot be of any help.

I agree about the sealing. They say to start in cold water....then boil. Although mine did initially seal many loosened in a few days

Mine looked more like a flower to me. Actually, I found the bottle unacceptable, as if the oil hardended, it was time consuming to warm it up to a more liquid state. Perhaps yours has a chunck of coconut shell???
